THE SAME SUN / salmon + gift for sam

[MARINA]

Goldenluxury. The name brought mixed feelings to the pirate. She felt compelled to smile, but on the inside, she could only feel a sense of dread. Marina's heart was set afloat along time ago, only to lose to another's flattery. If only she had only known there was another for Goldenluxury, then perhaps they wouldn't of gotten into this mess. Nevertheless, that couldn't be changed. No matter how hard Marina prayed to whatever Gods lay above. For now, her only choice was to set her disdain upon someone else.

But who? The answer: Samantha. Now, that unwelcome name carried anger. Apparently, she was Goldenluxury's 'other half' that she didn't know about, something Marina was never told. Now there was Goldenluxury and her's children coming the trio's way, only to have a third wheel in the mix... and it wasn't Samantha. Almost feeling set aside, Marina grew frurstrated. Jealousy at it's finest. She couldn't help but narrow her eyes upon the mention of the former Tanglewooder.

'Sam,' came a sweet voice in the distance. A very familiar one. Goldenluxury's gentle tone and tender way of speaking reached Marina's ears, causing her to turn towards the tiger. The words took awhile to register in her mind. Realization came soon enough. Her heart sunk. What did she expect though? Marina didn't seem ready to accept the truth though.

Letting out a sigh, Marina turned her head away. "No," the jaguar muttered. "I have not seen Samantha lately." Perhaps that was for the better. With that said, she would wander off to prepare for the upcoming children.
